Attractions

Sightseeing cruise vessels and a number of regular ferry lines to Okinawa’s surrounding islands depart from and arrive at Tomari Port. The passenger terminal complex, known as Tomarin, includes two piers, North Pier and South Pier, and two ticketing booths; make sure to go to the right pier for your boat. The Tomari Iyumachi Fish Market is located just a few minutes’ walk from Tomari Port.

The Wakasa Berth caters mostly to international cruise liners such as the Voyager of the Seas and the ship that regularly sails between Taiwan and Okinawa. A new world-class terminal, with customs, immigration and quarantine facilities located on the second floor, was completed at the Wakasa Berth in 2014. The terminal is equipped with a passenger boarding bridge that connects the cruise ship to the terminal.

Naha Shinko is the largest logistics hub in Okinawa where freighters of varying sizes, container trucks and forklifts are constantly coming and going. In addition, this is the point of departure and arrival for the regular ferries and combined passenger and cargo liners between Okinawa-Tokyo and Okinawa-Osaka/Kobe, and large passenger ships to Taiwan via the Sakishima Islands.

Including Jacuzzis, saunas, seawater swimming pools, slides and an open-air iwaburo (a bath made using rocks), Kariyushi Kanna Thalasso Laguna features 14 types of facilities, all which allow you to enjoy exercises while taking advantage of the buoyancy and other beneficial effects of the water. Relaxation time spent in one of the Jacuzzis on the outdoor terrace while taking in the grand ocean view is second to none. You can treat yourself to a watsu (a form of body therapy conducted in warm water) session, or beauty treatments at the salon located on the third floor. The restaurant on the first floor is a perfect stop for a healthy meal.
